Historic Rallye - The most essential item of equipment is a sense of humour!

Dicas para 2007

Muitos blogueiros me perguntam, sobre os melhores rallyes, ou a melhor organização em rallyes de carros históricos. Na verdade eu posso indicar algumas orientações, sobre o tema "qualidade", mas isso não significa que são dicas ótimas... Mas mesmo assim, como final de ano o "balanço" entra como componente forte, passo a indicar sites sobre determinados temas:

Rallyes de Carros Históricos e Clássicos
  • The Great Race - É uma corrida de longa distância nos EUA, quase de Costa a Costa - É mais para Hosts e carros V8 - o interessante é que distribui algo em torno de U$ 250 mil em prêmios. Como tem um povo que gosta eu indico, mas que é cafona, isso é... (São duas semanas em junho);
  • Historic Rally Car Register - É uma baita de uma organização inglesa, que faz os eventos mais fantásticos, principalmente de rallyes de velocidade com carro históricos, contudo, assim como outra organização inglesa (HERO), há eventos bem legais de rallyes de regularidade;
  • Liège-Rome-Liège - Este é um dos melhores eventos dentro da Europa, ainda sobre o mesmo trajeto que havia em 1950 e 1960. É famoso e tem como entrada, vários carros com participação histórica - vale a pena;
  • Mille Miglia - Sem comentários - vale até a pena assistir os carros passarem (perto de Brescia, há pequenos restaurantes na beira da estrada - fique boas horas, apreciando as passagens e se servindo da boa mesa italiana em pleno mês de maio;
  • Rallye des Alpes - Este evento suíço, tem forte ligação com o HRCR. Trata-se de um dos mais charmosos rallyes de carros históricos, percorrendo a rota assassina do antigo Alpine Rallye;
  • Targa Rusticana - Oxford University Motor Drivers' Club, organiza na Ilha Mãe este rallye de final de semana, no final de setembro. Para quem for a Goodwood e na feira de peças, fique o resto do mês e participe deste rallye;
  • Targa Tasmania - Muito legal (final de abril ou começo de maio);
  • Tulpenrallye - Este evento quer reviver em abril na holanda o famoso Tulip Rally (não tem muitas entradas, pois, é mais um rallye turistico do que competitivo);
  • Trans World Events - Este pessoal organiza o London-Sydney e outros rallyes de longa distância (como alguns da HERO). Muito legal; e,
  • Vintage Sports-Car Club - Este, turma, é o maior clube de proprietários de carros pre-war do mundo. Os caras tem mais de 40 rallyes, trials, corridas em pista, hillclimbs e outros eventos. Muito legal.
